I've been having floppy errors on my PCI motherboard with NT 3.5 too.  It sounds like your 
ASUS board doesn't have that problem.  Where did you get the board and how much was it?  
Can you give me some info on it?  

Is anyone else having any problems with floppy errors under NT or Warp with a PCI Pentium 
board?  Mine is a 100.
